The program aims to transform the agencies’ Human Resource Management System competencies and practices to a level of excellence that fosters good governance. This also serves as a guide among government agencies in transforming every government employee into a servant hero (Lingkod Bayani) through excellent HR processes.

ARD Maranan also conveyed his utmost gratitude to the Commission and to all its employees and staff for their hard work and dedication.

“We thank everyone, our friends, and partners for this recognition. Sa lahat ng naghirap para dito. In particular sa leg work ng HR na naka-focus dito. Thanks sa HRM team ng DILG MIMAROPA”, ARD Maranan added.
